Anita Delgado (Málaga, February 8, 1890, Madrid on July 7, 1962) was a singer from Malaga whose life changed when she was called to act at the wedding of King Alfonso XIII. In that celebration, the Maharaja of Kapurthala, Jagatjit Singh, met her and fell in love with her. They moved to India and began an exciting story that has inspired biographies and novels. For Lord Curzon, Governor General of India at the end of the 19th century, the Francophile Sir Jagatjit Singh was "a third thief with an impossible character, who was only happy gallant and playing in Paris." For the fifth of his women, an almost illiterate Malaga cupletist, Raja-i-Rajgan Maharaja Sir Jagatjit Singh, seventh Majaraha of the Indian state of Kapurthala, the knight was an unthinkable accident, a multimillion-dollar needle in a haystack more than humble.
Anita's parents had a coffee in Malaga called La Castaña, little for such bad times. Pushed by the economic hardship they settled in Madrid and put the two girls to dance, which at that time were not so much. The Camellias Sisters flamed in Madrid's Kursal and the parents got along, but everyone's luck changed when one of the richest Indian Maharajas on the planet, invited to the wedding of King Alfonso XIII with Victoria Eugenia de Battemberg visited the room. Although she already had a harem of one hundred and twenty women - four principal and the rest concubines - Jagatjit Singh fell in love with Anita as soon as she saw her. Among misunderstandings, half-joke letters written by Kursal clients (Valle Inclán, among others) and serious mediations by secretaries and correveidiles, the engagement was closed and the wedding was held in Kapurthala on January 28, 1908.
Actually, Ana Delgado was bought. The huge sums of money that her family received, the luxurious gifts she received, the fabulous jewels ... All that was just the beginning of a fascinating personal story and also full of chiaroscuro. The Raní Prem Kaur de Kapurthala, as it was called since the wedding, lived surrounded by extraordinary wealth, servants, exquisite whims, oriental glitters and bubbles beyond the imaginable, of a universe, in short, lavish and enviable. However, the always rich Maharani (rich until her death, far from India) never loved her husband. He suffered the emptiness that the other women made in the Kamra Palace, the former palace of the Majaraha, and lived isolated and full of nostalgia for his family and his country.
